2. Good day right back at ya! Ok. In an effort to take off 20 COVID shut-down pounds

I came across this little tidbit. All about why Resistance training helps you burn off those excess calories even when you're sitting around afterwards.

3. Good Day All!!

not so much interesting as exciting... I watched as my bees came to life in the warm spring days this week!! All of my hives made it through the winter and they were out in force this week... which also means bee poop all over my car, porch, everything!

...will turn colder this next week but spring is coming

Oh, also Shankar Vedantam's new book, "Useful Delusions: The Power and Paradox of the Self-Deceiving Brain" ...very interesting!

4. Congrats on the milestones and welcome new members!

I saw my first robin yesterday morning, and this is an excellent sign heading towards springtime. Oh, happy day!


I've been watching a YouTuber named "Not Useless Yet" restore his recently purchased Italian holiday home. I think it's interesting anyways.
